P411 Discount Field... How do the women interpret the field?

You might want to modify it to:

First hour=full price; $50 off each hour after the first.
Or, 1st hour =$$$; 2nd =$$.5; 3rd =$$.5 and so on.

Even I wouldn't have any questions about either one. Originally Posted by charlestudor2005

Stop making it so difficult. It's so simple a 1st grader could figure it out. Originally Posted by simpleton

I offer 10% for military and vets. They defend my country, rights, and future. It's the least I can do.

I offer $10 on P411 for everyone else. Why $10? Not to insult you, but seeing as my rate is 350 I make it a little more convenient for you P411ers to get it out of the ATM. That being said, I've had a whopping 3 people ever take advantage of that discount.

Per instructions from many, many ladies here, I NEVER, NEVER ask about money. Most every lady who has a website says the first mention of money causes a immediate cessation in ALL communication.


That tends to mean "in person". I'm pretty sure most people don't mind an email from an already screened gentleman that says "Hi does your $10 off mean $10 off flat or $10 per hour".

Way too long, you get a really small box to put this stuff in.

Or, you should just post your price as $340 and be done with it. And 10% for military & vets. I'm sure they're very grateful. On a military income or a veteran's pay (disability maybe), you offer a whopping $35 off. Makes your rate still above $$$. Go look at the rates thread. Few of the guys there said they would pay above that rate. So, although it looks good on the P411 listing and in the post, it's not really real since most military or vets could take advantage of it.
I think most of the time the discount is off the first hour. Many ladies have a built in discount for multihour sessions. Again, the best way to know for sure is to ask. Not so much what's your rate, but "How does your discount work for MY particular session that I'm interested in."

I have to agree. $10 off of a $350 donation rate to make it easier for the client at the ATM?.........convenience, not a discount. I wonder how many just drop $360 in the envelope and leave it at that. If there were only 3 takers on the "discount"...I would be willing to say quite a few.

Wanna give a real discount?

Rate=$340 P411 discount=$40......$300 in the envelope.

That would be an attractive discount that I'm sure many would be inclined to accept.

Just a thought...but I'm not one to try and tell a lady how to price her time.

On P411 there isn't room for such a list in the given space so for the most part they have to list the 1 hour rate and maybe a 2 hour rate. So I would agree that if a client was interested in a multi-hour visit...then asking the question through PM is really the only way to find out what the rate would be. Unless they want to break in down in the Bio at the bottom of the ad.

Well I'm sorry, they don't have a "convenience" field but I still would like to offer it. Don't want it, don't take me up on it. No harm, no foul.

My average booking is 2-3 hours, so no. It's not 35 by any stretch. It's almost always 60+. Military are also exempt from any early morning/late night (150) or outcall (25) fees. So if a guy in the army wants to see me for 2 hours at 9:30pm he pays 590 instead of 825. Sounds like a decent deal to me. I'd say about 15% of my clientele takes advantage of this - and given what they do for me, I am more than happy to do that for them.

I'm not in this thread to debate my rates, but if they were too high for where I am I'd be either out of business or working a 9-5. I am neither . They are the sacred correct amount of $$$ in other areas of the country. If you want to see me for that come on up to Vancouver or Seattle . Or simply see me here for 3+ hours and pay $$$ here. That's what most do *shrug*.

And this thread was about the P411 Discount line, not your rates.

When you say something like that and insult my military discount (which seems pretty in line with other providers) it makes it personal - hence my reply. Have a great day, it's too nice outside! !
Yah te big rate lists aren't really my speed. Either book the 90min date or start multiplying lol. That being said, once we get to 3 plus hours rates are tailored/discounted according to how interesting the date looks to be.

You can ask during the booking process.... as long as you word your question in regards to time spent together.

Example: "I am interested in a one hour meeting, and would like to confirm the donation of $300, less the $50 P411 discount indicated. Is a $250 donation for a one hour visit correct?"

Do not ever hint at any activities that may, or may not, take place. Also, having this discussion in person is totally inappropriate. A smart provider would throw you out on your butt, if you attempted to discuss it in person.

Always,

On a first visit its always one hour for me. I have jumped into 2 hour sessions on a first visit and have had buyers remorse a couple times.

It's all in how we click. If I really like her and I get an impression that she enjoyed our time as well...then I will repeat with a 2 hour session the next time.

Then it just goes from there. Hopefully if it comes down to inquiring about a multi-hour visit...she would be interested enough to want to make it worth my while. That would be a nice gesture and she would probably have a new regular client.
